@Grandizer, earlier christians found retconning the jewish torah much easier because, being hellenic or hellinised jews, they were working of the pentateuch, a very badly garbled translation to greek of the jewish holy books.
Yeah, I guess that's something to seriously consider as well. The Greek term parthenos in Isaiah 7:14 certainly misled people like "Matthew" into interpreting it as referring to a virgin woman.
